Currently at point of validating my business idea. And yes, I’m battling with the question, will they or will they not pay. Eagerly waiting for part 3, if there is a part 3.

A business idea is validated by customers, by sales, by data.

Every untested idea is a hypothesis waiting to be disproven.

Every entrepreneur faces similar questions: will people pay or will they walk away?

Your mom saying it’s a great idea isn’t validation. Your friends saying they’d totally buy it isn’t validation. Someone pre-ordering with real money? That’s validation. Test before you build, or prepare to build something no one wants.
